Video Game Music Documentary – From Red Bull
We love video game music in all it’s synthetic glory. At last someone has made a documentary about the people who invented this genre, and what effect it has had on modern day music. From the Red Bull Music Academy – the music of video games played more in our households growing up than any […]
The Fun Theory – Piano Stairs
We found this really fun video on the Fun Theory website. It’s an initiative sponsored by Volkswagen to see if we can change people’s behaviour through making it fun. ”Take the stairs instead of the escalator or elevator and feel better” is something we often hear or read in the Sunday papers. Few people actually […]

Classical Music Can Be Fun – Salut Salon “Competitive Foursome”
We love what these four women have done with their take on Classical music. Competitive behaviour is normally associated with rock or country music – who can play the loudest or the fastest… In this funny clip these four phenomenally talented players attempt to outdo each other – the pianist even does the Mozart upside […]
Instrumental Dictionary – Distortion
We at MTN spend a lot of time thinking about music – listening to it, composing it, playing it… What we’ve noticed is that we each have our own relationship with the sounds of various instruments. This ranges from the love we have for the instruments we play, all the way down to our petty […]

Pentatonix – Evolution of Music A cappella
We wanted everyone to see American A cappella group Pentatonix’s mind blowing video called the ‘Evolution of Music’. They give snippets of well known songs from the middle ages all the way through to the 2000s – see how many songs you can guess.. We love these guys and the amount of control they exert […]
The Vendor Client Relationship – In The Real World
Now we’re not saying that all our clients are like this – far from it, but when you see a video like this that takes the rules of doing business in the media industry and apply them to the real world, it really puts things in a different light! We thought this was a good […]
